What broke kdenlive on update?

Thu Jan 18, 2018 1:43 pm

As some of my other posts mentioned, my repository-based install broke, so I went and installed the AppImage. That, however, is currently unusable because I can't move the position-marker in of the views. So I'm back to trying to figure out what's going on on my local install, which segfaults if I try to do anything basic.

I thought it was an update of ffmpeg and/or mlt that broke it. However, from my best guess (looking at the change, access, and modified dates of projects I exported), kdenlive was working after those updates (however, I don't know a ton about this stuff).

Right now gdb reports the following trace on attempting to open a file (this is my first time running gdb and I'm just following the debugging guide on the Arch wiki). It segfaults when trying to open a project file or add a video to the project. I haven't checked to see if it is the same segfault. I also haven't tested to see if other things cause it to segfault:

What might have broken it?
ffmpeg?
Doubtful, it's updates are on the 29th (1:3.4-4 -> 1:3.4.1-1), after which my machine was definitely working. And the next log files are me trying to "fix" it by downgrading it (which didn't work; dependency hell). That doesn't seem to have been the issue.
mlt?
Well, there's a lot of me fiddling around with mlt and mlt-git (I think I was trying to get hardware acceleration to work); however, it looks mlt was what I had settled on while the program was working. Again, nothing in the log files until after it was broken.
frei0r?
It was there while it was working, and removing it doesn't fix anything.
movit?
Again, it was there while it was working, and removing it doesn't fix anything.
kdenlive?
Doubtful; log files show
[2017-12-17 09:17] [ALPM] upgraded kdenlive (17.08.1-1 -> 17.12.0-1) (this was part of a system upgrade)
[2018-01-03 22:46] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -S kdenlive' (this is the command to install or reinstall the program that I manually ran. I'm guessing this was where I learned that I have to recompile if I change mlt versions)
[2018-01-03 22:46] [ALPM] reinstalled kdenlive (17.12.0-1)
Again, my best guess says it was working on the third.

Ok, so those are the things I've seen in other posts that cause a lot of problems. So, thinking more generally, there are 2 system-wide things I can think of that might have had an effect:
1) I messed around with my graphics card driver. However, I'm 99% sure that I'm back to running nvidia-lts.
2) I installed a new bootloader (systemd-boot) and ran mkinitcpio.

As best I can guess, the program broke after an update on 01-05. Below are the the update logs for 01-03 (my best guess as to when it was last working through 01-09 (when the log files show me trying to downgrade to fix the problem); is there anything in here that might have done it?

Looking through installed and deleted files for that time, I can't find anything that I could imagine would affect kdenlive.

Thanks for the help.
